Orcish Ruler

A common misconception about the hierarchy of orcish clans is the notion that orcs only value brute strength. Although the leader of a smaller orcish troop may be the strongest fighter amongst them, the ruler of a large tribe has the difficult task of stifling internal feuding and in-fighting — something that cannot be accomplished by force alone. Such an orc is inevitably the most shrewd and perceptive among his peers and has won the respect of his brethren through leadership rather than coercion.
